Just my luck - I rolled my truck

[Littlebubba44]

so at age 14 I bought and payed for this truck myself. I striped it all down and redid everything. I get my dad to spay some fresh paint on it. I add that sound system evey teen wants and some nice kc lights up top, then at almost age 17 and just over 3 months with the truck on the road, I roll the truck that I just invested all of my time and money in. I was on a one lane dirt road and the road just ends with a gate at the end but there's a sharp turn that'll take you back onto the road. And of course in the dark you can't see it untill your allmost on top of it so going no more than 15 I try staying on the road but the back slides out (and the bank drops straight down) catches a large rock and rolls it on to the roof. I might be losing my licence for a every long while and there was a girl with me and she's trying to soak up all the medical bills she can but ha the cops told me that at the hospital the doctors said she had no injuries other than a bloody nose. And I still can't believe that that light/roll bar saved my life.

One good point............you can swap all the undamaged good stuff to another similar truck..........still, that sucks about as much as anything could!

Be glad your able to type the story

Fortunately you are a very capable young man . I am sure you can swap a cab and bed on , or swap the goodies to another truck as said above . Sorry about the luck man , hang in there !

be glad everyone made it out alive, you can rebuild a truck not a life.

Sledge hammer those dents out into a somewhat straight line, and take a jack to the rest, .. and wheel the piss out of it!

Sorry for the loss, it was a pretty little pick-em-up. Sort of glad to see it tore the visor off though, it looks better already. Not poking fun of course.

I guess the real question is: what are your plans for it?

 

[Littlebubba44]

it true i can rebuild the truck not a life but it still sucks. my plans for it right now is after my court date in like 2 months get a DD (newer blazer) and turn my truck into a winter project and return it to the condition it was in and keep it for those days down the road to look back on and say i'm lucky to be alive. before this all happened i had my eye on a truck to make a mudder out of but plans change i guess.

your lucky that you didnt get hurt badly yourself but it is a shame to smash up a truck like that. dont feel too bad though I did the same thing to mine. got it when I was 15 and spent 4 years making it into a capable offroad truck as well as a very dependable dd. got to a point in my life where I didnt really care much about anything and smashed it up pretty good until I eventually rolled it. tried to keep driving it afterwards but it lost its dependability status.

fortunately I wasnt hurt either and have got a very lucky chance with the truck Ive got now. used a lot of my good parts to make it into the same truck I had before I smashed it but now I have a little more sense about me.

as far as your truck goes, I say buy a dependable dd that can also be used as a tow rig and chop the top and install a roll cage on that one. in my opinion roll over trucks make a great starting point for a wild offroad rig. the bodies already smashed so you dont care about it anymore.

x2... i don't like visors. i haven't decided if i'm poking fun or not.

that whole situation would make me really , but at least you can learn a ton from it all. i know that will seem like small consolation at the moment. but a few years later, you'll see the value of it.

so, nobody's asked the important questions yet...was the chick hot? was she the real reason you crashed? and do you still have a shot with her?

i wrecked myself a car or two, thankfully not involving anyone else. you should definatley use this as a learing experience to better handle stuff later in life. really, at least you got a good one in early so another one aint due for a looooooooooooong time. got any pics of the before of the truck, when you bought it?

 

[bear76]

Did she at least bloody her nose on your belt buckle?

 

[Littlebubba44]

here's a pic of it after i had worked on it for a while...

She wasn't too bad looking and she wasn't the reason for the roll over in any way. and after her being a beach and lieing to everyone about her injuries so she could made some money off my insurance she could go f*** and goat for all i care.

 

[obijuan]

well you definatley need to rebuild her, you have the technology! that would be a nice off road truck now. i bet you could get all the body parts here for less than a bill if you really wanted.

 

[Littlebubba44]

no but she was straddling the shifter for a while when it was to crouded in the truck with my friend. but no nothing good came about this other than a good leson learned.

[ramjet gmc]

[Snowman1000]

just more proof that some women are more trouble than there worth. Sorry about the truck it was sweet and if it makes you feel any better it still looks better than my blazer.

 

[Littlebubba44]
